Kim Sudderth, Hampton Roads #EnvironmentalJustice Advocate, speaks out at last month’s press conference in Richmond, urging Governor Youngkin to strengthen #FEMA—not dismantle it. Our communities depend FEMA to respond to disasters from the worsening climate crisis. #ClimateJustice #VAPolitics

Yesterday CCAN, @actonclimateus.bsky.social, @momscleanairforce.org, & allies stood w/ Congress to reject Trump’s EPA attack on the Endangerment Finding. This move denies climate reality & puts us all at risk. 8K CCAN members helped send 250k+ comments to EPA.

⚡️ D.C. electric bills keep rising—many pay more to keep the lights on, and thousands risk shutoff. We need relief, not higher profits. Take action to take DC off fossil fuels: act.chesapeakeclimate.org/page/84882/p...

Electricity bills in the DMV will keep rising after PJM’s capacity auction hit max prices yesterday. PJM’s fossil fuel bias and slow clean energy approval drive costs up—some face 25% hikes by 2026. Maryland leaders are pushing for urgent reforms. chesapeakeclimate.org/maryland-ele...
